Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Full-Frame G Master Lens Sony E Mount

The best just got better! Arguably one of the finest G Master lenses now has a successor! Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II follows the acclaimed FE 85mm F1.4 GM with equally stunning bokeh plus higher resolution at all apertures thanks to the latest lens technology. It also supports full AF speed and precision with a-series bodies. The lens is remarkably compact and lightweight, adding agility to extraordinary image quality

Highest Optical Performance for the most Organic Bokeh

The advanced and refined optical design and elements of the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II brings together appealing bokeh and enhanced high resolution, making it ideal for portrait photography.

Packed with two XA (extreme aspherical) and two ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses, the state-of-the-art optical design effectively suppresses aberrations. This combination offers corner-to-corner resolution and rendering, resulting in outstanding image quality. Moreover, Sony’s original Nano AR Coating II technology effectively subdues flare and ghosting for clear, crisp images. The 11-blade circular aperture and optimization of spherical aberration during the design and manufacturing process provide the beautiful, soft bokeh that is the hallmark of G Master lenses series.

Fast, Precise, Quiet Autofocus and High Tracking Performance

The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II’s AF is agile, maximizing the speed advantage of advanced camera bodies. For stills, it is up to 3 times faster compared to the previous model , tracking moving subjects with high precision. It keeps up flawlessly with the Alpha 9 III’s 120fps continuous shooting, and subject tracking performance is improved by as much as 7 times.

Lightweight and Stylish Design without Compromises

Compared to the current 85mm F1.4 GM1, the weight of the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II (642 grams, 22.7 oz.) is approximately 20% lighter and 13% smaller in volume, which is achieved through the latest mechanical technology and optical design. The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II has a filter diameter of 77 mm (about 3.03 in), diameter of 84.7 mm (about 3-3/8 .33 in) and length of 107.3 mm (about 4-1/4.22 in).

Effective Cinematic Creation Features

For smooth movie creation at F1.4, the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II has an XD linear motor. Focus breathing is minimal, and in-body focus breathing compensation is supported. It has two customizable focus hold buttons and an AF/MF switch offer flexible operability, while an independent aperture ring and Linear Response MF focus control provide the kind of intuitive control that creative shooting demands.
